Cannes 2025: A Veteran Journalist's Unforgettable Film Moments

Cannes 2025: A Journalist's Memorable Moments. The Cannes Film Festival is always full of glamour and excitement, but this year, one journalist's experience stands out. Daphné Bürki, a veteran of 20 Cannes festivals, shared her most impactful moments with Brut. Bürki described the premiere of John Cameron Mitchell's "Short Bus" as a 'collective orgasm,' emphasizing the film's bold and queer themes and the electric atmosphere in the theater. She also recounted the reactions of fellow journalists to "La Vie d'Adèle," noting their surprise at the film's length and the powerful emotions it evoked. 'The journalists in the back were saying, "Wow, these scenes are so long!"' Bürki recalled. Her insights offer a unique perspective on the festival, moving beyond the red carpet to the intimate experiences within the screenings themselves. Bürki's reflections highlight the power of cinema to create shared emotional experiences and spark conversation.
